REM (Formula Language)

Syntax

REM " comments " ;

REM { comments } ;

Usage

The backslash ( \ ) serves as an escape character in a remark. To embed quotation marks in a remark delimited by quotation marks, precede each embedded quotation mark with a backslash. To embed a right brace in a remark delimited by braces, precede each embedded right brace with a backslash. To embed a backslash in a remark, type two backslashes.

A compiled formula does not distinguish between quotation marks and braces. When you open a design element containing formulas, braces delimit all constants including those previously specified with quotation marks. A backward slash prefixes a right brace previously specified in a remark delimited by quotation marks.

If a comment doesn't fit on one line, add additional REM statements to complete the comment.

Examples

1. This formula contains five lines of comments before the code.

   REM "6/15/95";
   REM "The following formula calculates the date";
   REM "for the DueDate field";
   REM "DueDate is the Date field + thirty days";
   REM;
   @Adjust(Date; 0;0;30;0;0;0)

2. This formula contains five lines of comments before the code.

   REM {1/15/01};
   REM {The following formula calculates the date};
   REM {for the "DueDate" field};
   REM {"DueDate" is the Date field + thirty days};
   REM;
   @Adjust(Date; 0;0;30;0;0;0)
